How We Use Your Information — Brave Books may use your personal information to enhance your shopping experience and to provide you with relevant information regarding your orders. Brave Books does not rent or sell personal information to anyone, including third parties intending to use such information for direct marketing purposes.

Brave Books may share information with our third-party service providers that have been collected by but not limited to, account registration, cookies, web beacons, mobile device identifiers, embedded scripts, Google Analytics, A/B testing, PayPal, external social networks, sweepstakes contests, and promotions, third party ad server networks, and online survey platforms.

Retention of Your Personal Data — Our general approach is to retain your personal data only for as long as required to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. We generally retain your personal data for no longer than three years from the end of our relationship or from the last contact from you (including transactions), unless local law requires otherwise. However, in some circumstances, we may retain personal data for longer periods of time, for instance where we are required to do so in accordance with legal, tax, and accounting requirements.

In specific circumstances, we may also retain your personal data for longer periods of time corresponding to the applicable statute of limitations so that we have an accurate record of your dealings with us in the event of any complaints or challenges.

Your Rights – 

You have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

  • Right to withdraw consent- where applicable, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.  For example, if you wish to opt-out of receiving electronic marketing communications.
  • Right of access, rectification, and erasure- you have the right to request access to and obtain a copy of any of your personal data that we may hold, to request correction of any inaccurate data relating to you, and to request the deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances. You can see and update most of this data yourself online, or by contacting us at info@brave.us.
  • Right of data portability- Under certain conditions, you have the right to receive all such personal data which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and also to require us to transmit it to another controller where this is technically feasible.
  • Right to restriction of processing- you have the right to restrict our processing of your personal data where:
    • you contest the accuracy of the personal data until we have taken sufficient steps to correct or verify its accuracy;
    • the processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase the data;
    • we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require such data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
    • you have objected to processing justified on legitimate interest grounds (see below) pending verification as to whether we have overriding compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing.

Where personal data is subject to restriction in this way, we will only process it with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, in accordance with local legislation. 

  • Right to object to processing justified on legitimate interest grounds- where we are relying upon legitimate interest to process personal data, then you have the right to object to that processing. If you object, we must stop that processing unless we can either demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or where we need to process the data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. Where we rely upon legitimate interest as a justification for processing we believe that we can demonstrate such compelling legitimate grounds, but we will consider each case on an individual basis.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes applicable law.

For further information regarding your rights, to exercise any of your rights, or if you have any complaints or questions regarding the processing of your personal data please contact us via info@brave.us

Please note that we may request proof of identity, and where permissible under applicable law, we reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law, for instance, if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. We will endeavor to respond to your request as soon as possible and in any case within the applicable timeframes.
